In an interview with the Journal, Neuralink’s first patient, 29-year-old Noland Arbaugh, opened up about the roller-coaster experience. “I was on such a high and then to be brought down that low. It was very, very hard,” Arbaugh said. “I cried.” He initially asked if Neuralink would perform another surgery to fix or replace the implant, but the company declined, telling him it wanted to wait for more information.
Oh yeah, words of happiness right here! So much QOL, I’m glad you enjoy this.
Do you understand what an experimental operation is?
Nolan took the risk, and it paid off at first, being the first subject there is alot of unknowns.
Turns out scar issue in the brain is an issue.
So back to your quote.
They did decline to replace/fix thr impant currently. If you read the rest of your quote it states they are waiting for more information.
Yes it’s sad Nolan is loosing functionality of his device, but his risk and now loss will only help the next on the list to have a functional device for longer.
I do enjoy this, Nolans efforts and sacrifice will make the world a better place for others like Nolan. What is wrong with that? Why should nolans experience be something we should not celebrate? He does, why cant we join him?
Maybe one day you will be in the same situation as Nolan, but because of Nolans direct contribution you won’t have to suffer the same fate. Why are you so selfish?
Nolan has not stated he regreted this. So should Nolan just not have suffered a spinal cord injury? He could have avoided this if he remained able body. I wonder what was worse. The impant failing, or being paralyzed for life.
That’s just not how medical research works. Modern medicine isn’t built on trying unproven technology on desperate people and using their bodies as a fast track stairway to success. Medical experiments have to ensure human dignity and that doesn’t include “he was desperate enough to say yes” as a rationale.
